Description

Over the last few years savvy tournament fisherman have secretly been modifying the 6inch trout by cutting the tail off and gluing the tail of an 8inch trout, resulting in a hard-kicking (numbers producing) little package. To spare you the agony of cutting a $29.00 bait to glue to a $20.00 bait, we are releasing the 68 SPECIAL in limited quantities. First come first served. I'm not sure if we will ever bring this lure into full production, time and the fish will tell.

Field Notes

This is a compact hard swimbait built for a strong kicking action and a smaller profile than a full-size trout bait. It is aimed at tournament-style bass fishing when you want a big-bait look with a more manageable size, especially around open water or when fish are keyed on trout.

Pros

  • Compact big-bait profile
  • Hard-kicking action
  • Good for numbers compared with larger trout swimbaits

Cons

  • Limited-quantity release
  • Pricey compared with standard swimbaits
  • Tail-mod style bait may be more specialized than a general-purpose lure
